The personality of the radio, Charlamagne, that God has canceled a TimesTalks event, in which he was scheduled to appear with Kanye West. The New York Times, which sponsors TimesTalks, confirmed that the conversation, scheduled for Wednesday night in New York, was canceled. The event was supposed to focus on mental health in the black community, but on Monday, Charlamagne announced on Instagram that he was canceling it, saying it would have been "a total distraction from the point of view" of the destigmatization of the problems of mental health.

"Normalizing mental health is a conversation I really wanted to have with Kanye because he has expressed his opinion about his own mental health problems," he wrote. "Unfortunately, I think having that conversation with him at this time would not be productive and a total distraction from the point of view that is eradicating the stigma of mental health, especially in the black community."

Last week, West got the headlines of a Monologue of theft in the White House That left President Trump almost speechless. During his visit, West, who previously said he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, refuted the diagnosis and said he knew he was simply sleep deprived.

"I was not really bipolar, I had a lack of sleep that can cause dementia in 10 to 20 years, when I would not even remember my son's name," he said.

In April, charlamagne interviewed West for almost two hours and released a video of the discussion. During the talk, West discussed his mental crisis in 2016 that led to his hospitalization. "I think I'm in a stronger place than ever after the crisis or, as I like to say, the breakthrough," he said.

On Saturday, West tweeted a video on "mind control" and said, "You know, when people try to influence you through social media and try to tell you what to do or if you post something positive on Instagram and eliminate it." If it's not part of a bigger agenda, you know, that's like mind control. That is the echo chamber. It is trying to control you based on incentivarte and based on you get enough "I like", and that is the poison that is happening on social networks. . "
